“Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!”
“Nicole was so amazing with our dog, Nellie! This was our first Rover experience, so of course I was nervous, and Nicole sent frequent photos and updates of Nellie. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Fantastic care provided for our shitzu with updates and pictures. We were confident our little guy was in great hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Jeff and Rachel were very now than accommodating with our dog. They treated her like family. They followed the feeding instructions. They gave her medicine when she needed it. I like that they only watch one dog at a time. I world definitely use them again.”
“My pup had a wonderful time with Lindsey and her dogd. He csme home less excitesble due to the smount of plsy time he received. He csme back more trainable because of the more cslm demeaner, and he plays better with other dogs now. Lindsey is s great choice for dog-sitter or, dog-boarder.”
“Meleah is an awesome sitter. She took care of our older dog, JoonBug, (which is not easy!) and JoonBug came back in excellent shape! We can tell she was loved on too while we were gone. I would recommend Meleah to anyone!”
“Leslie took such great care of our golden while we were traveling for two weeks. We received pictures daily which gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely use Leslie again for future boarding!”

“Maria was absolutely wonderful! I was new to Rover and very nervous about leaving my puppy with someone, but with Maria I had nothing to worry about. She is clearly great with animals and from the moment she met Ellie I knew she was in good hands! My Ellie had the best time with Maria and I LOVED the text updates and photos she sent! I will definitely be using Maria again, and would recommend you do the same! ❤️?”
“Bethany and her family were great! We felt comfortable leaving our dog in their hands. They are clearly animal lovers and sweet people. We would definitely trust leaving Benson with them again :)”

“Pam is amazing! Took notes about our dog during an initial meeting, sent us pictures and videos with a daily update while we were gone for a week, and you can tell she and her husband really love dogs. Super nice person and very responsive!”
“Dawn was incredible. From the warm welcome upon my last minute business trip in which Atticus couldn’t join. Dawn provided fresh chicken and daily walks and her updates were detailed and lovely. Such a wonderful experience. Will be back. Thank you!”
“Justin was amazing to work with, expressing great communication and care for my pup. I cannot recommend him and his son enough, they were the best option and I will definitely return!”
“WOW!! I dont even know where to begin. As a first time user of Rover, I was unsure how it would go, and Joe exceeded every expectation I had. He was kind, responsive, and made all of us feel so comfortable throughout the process. Manny looked right at home in all of the pictures we sent and I’m pretty sure he would have stayed with Joe indefinitely if we let him 😂 Thank you Joe for an amazing experience and peace of mind while we were on our trip!!!”

We are so pleased with Millie's stay. Kirsten and Nicolas were super acccomodating with drop off and pick up times...sent us updates throughout the weekend. We loved that they had other dogs for Millie to socialize with and their backyard is perfect. We will definitely be using them again in the future.
Rachel was an absolute gem. My first time leaving Remi at a new place and she quickly put me at ease. Her and her husband were super nice and kept me updated throughout Remi's time with them with lots of photos. Remi was well taken care of. I would highly recommend and would definitely use again.
Alex was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She took great care of him and was very loving and attentive. Our flights ended up getting cancelled, and she was incredibly kind and flexible about keeping him for an extra day. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!
Alyssa was a dream! We accidentally booked for the wrong weekend and she was so understanding and kind. She took great care of our old boy, sending regular updates and pictures/videos. He looked happy and relaxed in every update. We will definitely reach out to her in the future!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Delaware home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Delaware.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
